Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Nicholas Murray Butler
President Roosevelt has had several people look into the charges regarding the “school case” in Washington, D.C., and they all found the charges to be completely unsubstantiated. General Henry V. Boynton and Henry B. F. Macfarland believe the charges to be only a product of Superintendent W. B. Powell’s malice. George Herbert Harries says he will not resign.

Letter from Henry Litchfield West to Theodore Roosevelt
Henry Litchfield West, on behalf of the Washington, D.C., Board of Commissioners, explains how a complaint made by B. Pickman Mann to the Commission got into the newspapers. Mann charged that the Washington, D.C., police issued a warning to President Roosevelt’s chauffeur rather than arresting him, out of favoritism to the President. Mann’s letter was published before West had seen it and responded. West explains that, although the publication was through no willful intent on the part of his staff, he regrets the annoyance to the President. He will have the Commission issue an order that any letter referring to the President of the United States be brought to the attention of the Commissioners immediately.

Despite some legal setbacks, enforcement of the law has been generally successful, except in a handful of cases, including the Potomac Electric Power Company. Due to the “frequent and flagrant” violations of the plant, 66 prosecutions have been brought against it in court.
